Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRudiger Brauning is a computational biologist with 11 years’ experience applying bioinformatics to genome assembly, SNP detection, expression analysis and NGS data handling, currently based at AgResearch in New Zealand. He combines hands-on technical skills in Python, R, MySQL and multiple UNIX/Windows environments with deep experience in deploying and documenting bioinformatics services and tools such as EMBOSS, SRS and Ensembl mirrors. As a former Director of Services for national bioinformatics initiatives, he has designed and delivered training that reached over 500 scientists across Africa and Asia and helped establish South Africa’s National Bioinformatics Network. He is experienced in grant writing, reporting to international organizations (WHO, Wellcome Trust, EMBnet) and translating wet-lab questions into robust computational protocols. A practical systems thinker, Rudiger pairs infrastructure-level know-how (server installation, database indexing) with pedagogy, making complex genome technologies accessible to diverse research communities.
